Disable Photo Import in Ubuntu

(Olympus E510 Marseille, France. Street) 馬賽的道路有不少高低起伏的路段,還有很多單行道。在巷弄間開車應該很容易迷路吧。 **** Every time I insert a SD card ( or CF card) into my Linux box, it shows up a “Photo Import” dialog to ask me if I want to import photos directly. However, I never used this function, so it turns out to be nothing more than an annoying notification. ...

PC version of VocabReview

Though VocabReview ( a small program that I wrote for Windows Mobile system to display vocabularies that have been exported to a text file) works well on my dopod818, I found out that actually I spend more time on my PC than on my PDA. Well… I am kind of otaku, I do not go out often. So, I think it’s probably a good idea to create a similar program on my PC too. In this way, I can review the words while I am surfing on the internet. ...

revive Asus W3V

(Olympus E510 Lac d’Annecy. Voilier) L’été est proche. Quand le week-end arrive, les voiliers paraissent sur le lac. Regardes, tous les voiliers ont les toiles blanches! **** 最近總覺得Asus W3V在Windows XP下運行地特別慢。所以今晚橫下心來,把灌了快兩年的MAC theme移除,回到XP最精簡,效能最佳的95外觀。頓時,我的W3V又飛起來了。不論是開啟檔案總管,Firefox(雖然還是有點慢),或是用powerCinema看電視,在執行速度都至少快了一倍。 ...

法語動詞變位查詢

( French Verbs Conjugation) 在很早期,onlinedic就已經加入了法文動詞變位查詢的支援。 當時是直接把別人寫好現成的library拿來用, 因為原本的library就已經有我想要的API,所以沒有特別改什麼。 ...

靈格斯字典 Lingoes

(Olympus E510 Annecy.Tulips) Annecy到處種滿了鬱金香。雖然沒有像荷蘭的花田般壯觀,不過還是很能讓人感受到春天的氣息。 **** 靈格斯字典,早期稍微適用過。當時並沒有荷蘭文字典,法文字典的選擇也很少, 所以後來以移除軟體收場。 昨天再次試了一下2.2.0版,發現網站上的字庫有了很大的改進。 法文字庫目前有法漢字典(簡體版,來源似是法語助手),和petit robert 2007。 petit robert 2007的呈現方式竟然就跟我的Babylon上一模一樣。 Lingoes的介面也朝Babylon的介面看齊,在外觀上(對我來說)極為相似。 ...

[Ubuntu] Connect to a Pocket PC (Windows Mobile 5, 2003)

(Olympus E300 Annecy.Rose) Need to connect my dopod818 to ubuntu in order to sync some data. I tried this a long time ago, without success. This time, it seems to work well. Here’s the HowTo I referenced: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/WindowsMobile?action=show&redirect=PocketPCHowto As usual, you have to install some packages at first. And then set up some configurations. Voila! I can sync 818 with Evolution. :)

xchat

(Olympus E300 Annecy.Eglise) 最近在電視上看到遊Annecy湖的廣告,隨手錄了下來(改天再放), 隨著氣溫愈來愈高,這兒的遊客應該也會愈來愈多吧。 **** Every time I use xchat, I have to connect the irc server manually. And then, I have to choose the channels I want to join in all over again. That’s really tiresome for me. ...

tweaking with Asus S200

(Italie.Venice) Searched some information on the internet to better utilize the 128 RAM on my s200. Firstly, I turned off GDM service. Instead, startx is executed (with icewm window manager) from command line, everytime I turn on my s200. It’s said that GDM consumes quite some memory usage. Secondly, I commented unnecessary ttys. In general, one tty is enough for me. Nevetheless, I kept two, just in case. ...

Sound Juicer

(Olympus E510 Lyon) 到里昂那麼多次,終於有一次是好天氣。 **** 借來的Business French就要到期了,可是看沒幾課。 想說先把CD拷一拷好了。 在ubuntu下有Sound Juicer可以幫忙rip光碟, 但是,預設模式下只有flac和ogg, 我的mp3 player並不支援這兩種格式, 所以我把profile改成mp3,可是卻不行運作。 ...
